Dear reader, are you a target against which the fiery darts of the devil are leveled? Are you sorely tempted? Do not be astonished as though some strange thing had happened unto you. The holiest of God’s saints have suffered as you are now suffering; yes, even your blessed Lord, your Master, your Pattern, your Example, and He in whose name you shall be more than conqueror; was once assailed as you are, and by the same enemy. And let the reflection console you, that temptations only leave the traces of guilt upon the conscience, and are only regarded as sins by God, as they are yielded to. The mere suggestion of the adversary, the mere presentation of a temptation, is no sin, so long as, in the strength that is in Christ Jesus, the believer firmly and resolutely resists it. “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Jesus has already fought and conquered for you. He knew well what the conflict with Satan was. And He remembers, too, what it is. Lift up your head, dear tempted soul! You shall obtain the victory. The seed of the woman has bruised the serpent’s head; yes, has crushed him, never to obtain his supremacy over you again. He may harass, annoy, and distress you; but pluck you from the hollow of the hand that was pierced for you, he never can.
Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)

Excellent post my brother! I’ve read many of your posts,by the way, and liked them much, but I see nowhere to like your posts, and didn’t have time to comment. So many people are tempted this day, more than any other because there is sin literally at our fingertips…the click of a button is all it takes. God is calling, and the time is near. I hope all will lift up their heads in enough time to see Christ coming in the clouds…before it is too late. God bless you Greg. Goodnight.
Lyn,

May our sovereign Lord God richly bless you and yours.
